Stove ID and 1yr's work

[leftover]

Pictures to hopefully help ID this:



The hearth has taken me about a year to get to this point, money and time being the cause for the length of the project. The hearth has ventilation throughout, the "walls" are ceramic tile on cement board spaced from the wall 2" using porcelain insulators. The information found here was tremendous.

I also added a baffle to try for better burns, it has firebrick on top of it, as well.

Did you do the refurb on that stove?

 

[leftover]

Yes. I am still working on the finish around the base of the hearth, but I am close to firing it up.

Is it in your basement? Looks good.

Yes. I am still working on the finish around the base of the hearth, but I am close to firing it up.

Looks excellent! Very nice refurb. Curious to see how that baffle works out for you.

Very nice job on the stove and the hearth. I will also be curious how the baffle works. Thinking out loud...I wonder if there will be an issue with smoke rolling out when the doors are opened. I hope it works as well as it looks.

Had the same thought Jags. The stove looks like it is being choked down from 8" to 6". That is a no-no, especially with a fireplace style stove.

The hearth is pretty trick. Is the back wall open on top and do the cement blocks supply air to behind the wall?

 

[leftover]

The block are open to the wall space and the chair rail at the top overhangs to allow airflow. The picture doesn't show it well but it was to show the airspace. They are ceramic tiles and the wood plank look kept my wife happy, not that I don't like it, I do. The piping was already there, and the budget isn't. Definitely hoping the necking down isn't a problem, but, if it is it means I will have to figure out how to get larger piping.

Nobody has an idea on the stove manufacture? The tag is so burnt nothing is readable except the imprinted numbers "6109", and the cast marks on the doors "15-0040 and 15-0041."

Oh yeah, this is on the main floor, yes the flooring is sufficient to support it, and our basement had no good way to get the heat from below to above. Have a neighbor whose dad built both houses the same and her stove is in the basement and she is always trying to figure out ways to get the heat to warm the upstairs well. She also said she has to run the stove real hot to even get the heat she does upstairs.

Lit it up tonight. First fire! YAHOOOOOOO
The baffle works just as it should without blowing smoke into the room.
The "burnoff" smells not so good. Stovetop at 550 and the pipe at 475.
I need to do door gaskets, as I was told it didn't need them. I thought it would,
but went with a "knowledgeable" person's advice, oh well, lesson learned.
Question, would the wood smell be due to the gaskets,
and will the gaskets stop the smell being in the house?

 

[leftover]

I may have found out what it is, but unsure. I have seen one called a Wonder Warm.
Looks identical to mine, but I can't find any info more on it. Hoping someone can help me.

Great to hear that baffle worked out. Now id love to see a video of that stove burning.
